While most tournaments pit robots against each other. This will be the first where it tests a robot's endurance. This would be in a style of more like a reality show where a robot will get eliminated each week by the testing in the arena it will go through.
Tests will include,
-The Small Arena's Crusher (Armor)(Time Alive / Hits From The Cusher= Score)
-Resistance to Popups (HnM 4 would make a great contender)
-Battery Life (Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth)
-SHRiMech Speed (No invertability)
-Flame Pits (The time when all drive motors are burnt = Score)
-Resistance to flail razors (Time destroyed = Score)
-Speed+Tourque (fastest time across the joust arena/ the overall torque of the bot)
-Face off w/ a random Nar AI (2.0) robot (Most likely going to be the championship round)
This cannot be completely AIed but some of the tests can be feasible though SOME AI

Bracket Layout
This is not a "first come, first serve" tournament. Instead, I would allow any amount of robots from different users to be able to qualify. BUT, ONLY 10 will qualify.
The ten will be selected by under going the traumatic "Small Arena Crusher" qualifying times (time when the bot is completely destroyed) will be posted and videos of each bot qualifying would be put up for people who think I fudged with the times.
To make viewing more easier, the arena a robot is in will be skinned with something that would represent their robot.
In every show (after qualifying) there is a battle and a treatment, the battle will represent a random Nar AI HW vs the victims. The robot that survives the longest with their randomly chosen robot will be exempted from the treatment.
The treatment could take as long as it can, depending on how well a robot is doing. The robot that preforms the worst, would have to go through a penalty round consisting of a certain benchmark needing to be obtained, in contrast to the original treatment. When a robot fails a penalty round, they are eliminated.
The arenas will go as follows:
The Small Arena
The Combat Zone
The Robot Wars Arena
The Ring Arena (NOT SERGE'S)
The Test Arena
The Bot Lab
Dummy's Think Tank
